Karu ō te Kiwi

Welcome to Karu ō te Kiwi, a haven nestled amidst the rugged beauty of Puponga, New Zealand. Here, the air smells of adventure, and the horizon stretches endlessly, inviting you to explore...
Why Choose Karu ō te Kiwi?
Soul-Stirring Views: Perched on the edge of Farewell Spit, our retreat offers panoramic vistas that defy description. As dawn paints the sky in hues of coral and gold, you’ll feel the heartbeat of nature.
Eco-Luxe Accommodation: Our 3-bedroom sanctuary seamlessly blends comfort with sustainability. Handcrafted wooden furniture, plush textiles, and earthy tones create an ambiance that whispers, “Relax, you’re home.”
Secret Garden: Wander through our 20 acres of native bush, where ancient trees guard their secrets. Listen to the rustle of leaves, or a Tui serenading the dawn.
Sunrise Serenade: Wake up to a symphony of birdsong. Sip your morning brew on the sea-facing deck, watching the sun tiptoe across the water.
Pet-Friendly Paradise: Furry companions are more than welcome. Let your dog chase butterflies. After all, they deserve a vacation too!
Starry Nights: When darkness blankets the land, our skies come alive. Grab a blanket, lie back, and count constellations. The Milky Way spills across the heavens like spilled stardust.

Magical!
This is an exceptionally special spot. The house was clean, contemporary, warm and comfortable with everything we needed… and the views were amazing! The walks around the property were a surprise and extra magical - it’s well worth the steep climb to the lookout! Exploring Farewell Spit and Wharariki area was a breeze from here. We were blessed with two days of exceptional autumn weather but it would be just as lovely hunkered down in winter or in the heat of summer. Thanks Canada for the opportunity to experience your gorgeous property :-)

Beautiful house
We stayed for two nights for a wedding in Collingwood. Beautiful house with a stunning view and only 15 minutes from Collingwood. Had everything we needed, even had supplies for small children. Very comfortable stay and relaxing part of golden bay. Canada was so easy to deal with and everything with check in and check out was straight forward. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
